a Den of Wild Dogs.

In Buncomb county, North Carolina,
party of hunters discovered den of
wild dogs while hunting last Saturday.
A woman met the party and told a
strange story, saying that few days
before she had been attacked in her
house by what she thought must be
wild dogs. At the time the doors were
closed, but the desperate animals made
attempt after attempt to enter. She re-
ported that they were large, very lean,
and with the aspect of wolves, but more
daring. The next day after their APP
pearance at the house the dogs were
again seen by the woman, who was out.
side. She fled to the house for shelter,
and reached it just in time. Since that
occurrence she had been virtually I pris-
ouer in her own house. The hunters
spent hours in searching for the dogs,
and finally found them in regular den
ia a Wild and rugged mountain. The
hunters dogs ADVANCED, aud all three
were killed in few minutes by The te-
rocious wild dogs. The place was diff
ficult of access, but Calvin Jones AMI
Charles HarkiBs undertook to reach it.
and climbed to the den with Winchester
rifles in their hands. The ferocious
dogs came out OF it, and the hunters had
to fire rapidly TO save their lives. They
killed five of the dogs as the latter
rushed on them. Three dogs finally re-
turned to the cave. Next day the hunt
ers returned and killed these.

Wonderful Engineering Feat.

Two thousand persons saw wonder
ful achievement Of engineering skill at
Holrnesburg Junction, on the New York
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
last Sunday. Thirty-two men moved
distance OF fifty feet the iron bridge,
weighing l60 tons. that spans the Pen
nypack, and they accomplished the great
task i'm the remarkable time OF eleven
and one-half minutes. Some time ago
the company decided to build a four
arched stone bridge in place of the iron
over the big creek. The iron bridge
had to be moved westward fifty feet that
it might be used until the stone bridge
is built and ready for service. The re-
moval of the bridge had to be done be-
tween the running of fast trains.
Six weeks ago the men began the big
undertaking with the building of trestle
approaches to both sides of the creek at
the point where the iron bridge was 10
be placed. A carriageway was built for
the bridge, and rails laid on which 1t
was to slide, and "crabs," or windlasses
with iron chains, were placed in posi-
ton. Every man was at his post, and
the great throng of people was watch
ing with eager interest, when the Wills
tie of the "fast line" WAS heard. The
train Numbered over the bridge seven
minutes late.
Then Superintendent Ford gave the
word to his army of laborers, and they
began to tear up rails and cut away the
fastenings of the bridge. The bridge
had no sooner been released than Master
Mechanic Meshon gave the signal and
thirty.two men began to wind the
"crabs." AS the bridge hogan to slowly
move more men went in front oft pour
ing oil over the creased rails. Super
intendeut Crawford and others held
watches i'm their hands as the big iron
structure moved smoothly toward the
end of the trestle. At one time the
eastern end began to lag, but it was
only for few moments, and soon the
bridge slid over the rails. foot by foot,
to its new resting place without u mis-
hap and in the brief period of liz min
utes, while a mightyiroar went up from
the people.
The workmen on both sides of the
creek then tore up and laid down frogs
switches, and sleepers, and moved the
rails to the new bed. They soon had
the rails connected with the two tracks
on the bridge. A half hour after the
bridge had been cut loose heavy con-
struction train was run over the struct-
ure, and at 1919 the Philadelphia eX-
press dashed acrSss il.
